    This is your blog URL http://maakeenwebsite.wordpress.com/
    This is the login link that will never be indexed http://maakeenwebsite.wordpress.com/wp-admin
    Your blog has no content for search engines to index. It can take from 4 – 6 weeks or more for search engines index any new sites, but this post contains ten tips for expediting the process. http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2010/01/21/omg-i-cant-find-my-blog-on-google/

    Thanks for the reply!
    Yes, i understand this, but it must be possible tough to log in to your website on whatever computer i use or not? Also when i am on the other site of the world on a different computer.
    I seems to me that the only thing i need is to type http://maakeenwebsite.wordpress.com/wp-admin in to enter my admin.
    Hope you can help me!

    Yes, you should be able to get in via that link on any platform, but you’re using two different browsers, or versions of browsers, on your Mac and PC. Try using the https version of the site instead; that gives more consistent results. Log in to https://maakeenwebsite.wordpress.com/wp-admin

    I think maakeenwebsite was used to typing http://maakeenwebsite.wordpress.com/wp-admin and having it open the dashboard. Maybe because you clicked “Deze gegevens onthouden” on your Mac.

    The problem is when you switch computers, /wp-admin redirects you to wp-login, and you have to supply your username and password again.

    Sadly, you have to do this every time you switch computers or browsers. There is no way around it. You have to login at least once on each computer/browser to be able to check “Deze gegevens onthouden” and keep your dashboard open. (That’s bad practice by the way. Any person who uses the computer after you and types http://maakeenwebsite.wordpress.com/wp-admin will then be able to open your blog and add/delete stuff!)

    Only do that if you own the computer/laptop.

    As for logging in using your new computer, I’m afraid you’re going to have to provide your username and password.

    If you can’t remember it, you can have it reset by clicking “Wachtwoord vergeten?” in the wp-login page. The password reset instructions will be sent to the email address you use for wordpress.com, so make sure you can access that address too.

    First, please make sure that your browser is up to date by visiting http://whatbrowser.org/

    If it is not, please try updating your browser or switching to a different browser.

    If it is, please do these four things:

    1. Try clearing your browser’s cache and cookies: http://en.support.wordpress.com/browser-issues/

    2. Make sure that you have third-party cookies enabled: http://en.support.wordpress.com/third-party-cookies/

    3. Try with all browser extensions or add-ons temporarily disabled.

    4. Try enabling HTTPS: http://en.support.wordpress.com/https/

    Please let us know how each step goes for you, and which browser (and version of) you’re using if you’re still having trouble.
